Why Coaching? The Natural Next Step for Growth
While therapy focuses on healing from past wounds and gaining insight into the patterns shaping our lives, coaching takes a future-oriented approach. If you’ve already explored some of your past in therapy or are ready to dive straight into actionable steps toward change, coaching might be the perfect fit. In coaching, the emphasis shifts towards practical, goal-oriented strategies, helping you build a path to where you want to go, equipped with skills to maintain momentum and resilience.
For many clients, coaching serves as a natural next step or even an alternative to traditional psychotherapy. In our work together, I’ll apply therapeutic insights to help you move forward while focusing on real-world results, problem-solving skills, and the actionable goals that allow for growth and success. Coaching may resonate for those who wish to engage in self-development without diving as deeply into the past, focusing instead on the practical application of change.
How Coaching Differs from Therapy
While both coaching and therapy are dedicated to growth and self-discovery, they have distinct approaches and goals:
​
-
Therapy or Psychotherapy is traditionally rooted in healing, addressing unresolved issues from the past, and exploring emotional challenges in-depth. It’s often focused on understanding how past experiences influence current behaviours, helping to manage symptoms like anxiety, trauma, and intense emotions. Therapy typically involves a diagnosis and treatment framework, aiming to provide relief from psychological distress and improve mental health.
​
-
Coaching, in contrast, is not a clinical treatment; it’s a collaborative process focused on achieving goals, boosting performance, and building strategies for future success. In coaching, we won’t dwell extensively on past trauma or diagnoses but instead work towards immediate, practical solutions that empower you in your personal and perhaps your professional life. Coaching is more structured around setting and achieving specific goals, gaining clarity on future desires, and using strengths-based techniques for personal empowerment.
A Trauma-Informed, Compassionate Approach
As a coach with a deep understanding of trauma and attachment, I offer a safe, judgement-free space where you can work towards your goals, knowing you’re supported by a professional who understands the complexities of emotional challenges. My approach is trauma-informed, ensuring that we move forward in a way that respects your past experiences without becoming overwhelmed by them.
In our work together, you’ll benefit from my diverse expertise across disciplines. Whether we’re drawing from attachment-based insights to transform your relationships, using Positive Psychology to build confidence, or employing mindfulness techniques to enhance resilience, you’ll find a balanced blend of therapeutic understanding and practical coaching tools.
